Leners Patent No. 86,071, dated Janna/ry 19', 1869.

IMPROVED SU'BMERG-ED- FORGE-Pm.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesame.

* Q-*P C- To all whom it lina/ 1,1 conce/m.-

` in both figures.

My'improvements relate to pumps,wh ich being placed in the bottom of a Well, are used for forcing the water upward; 'and My invention consists in a novel combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described in the specifications and claims.

The pump has two parallel cylinders AA, which may j be made of 4cast-iron, carefully bored to receive the Y plungers.

These cylinders are attached to a connecting-plate, which forms acover for the tight chamber B, over which 4the cylinders rest, and into which the water iiows from the cylinders alternately through valves() O, which are attached to an oscillating bar, C', in such manner that they will be alternately opened, as the plungers descend, v

'to permit the outward ilow of water from the cylinders into the chamber B, and closed with the ascent of the other plunger, to prevent the water flowing from the chamber into the cylinder.

-Thewater passing into the chamber is forced upward through the tube D, which is also caston the Asame plate with the two cylinders, and opens into the chamber, and is connected at the top with the pipe E, throughwhich the water is elevated to the top of the well.

The plungers F F are made of brass, and are neatly fitted in the cylinders. They have openings passing vertically through them, so that the ,waterrrnay freely flow downward into the cylinder.

Two brass valves, vIWF', are hinged to the bottom of the plunger, and so formed and arranged, thatV when the plunger rises, they will fall, and permit the water .to ow into the cylinder, and as the plunger is pushed down, they will, by the pressure of the water, be spread outwardly, and being closely fitted to the cylinders, they will force the water down into the chamber B, and thence upward through the eduction-pipe.

The plungers are attached to the rods G G, which are fastened to each end of the oscillating bar H, which turnslupon pins 'passing through each side of an eye formed in said bar, and into the tube E, which passes through said eye. ,y

The wires I are attached to the oscillating bar H, at each end, and tothe arms of the T-formed lever K.

This leverhas its fulcrum on a bolt, L, passing through the arch M, which is bolted to the well-cover N.

-The arch M is formed with a longitudinal slot to' receive the T-formed lever K, and also with a hole through it, for the passage of the pipe E.

The bolt L serves also as a set-screw for holding the pipe E.

The'plungers are alternately actuated by the oscillation ofthe handle of the lever K, and the water forced in a continuous stream through lthe pipe E.

WhatI claim as my invention, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is-,

1. The construction of the valves F' F', substantiallyV as shown anddescribed.

2. The combination of the cylinders A, plungers E,

and valves F', respectively,.constructed and arranged substantially as set forth. 3. The bolt L, when used in combination with the lever H, arch M, and pipe E,for the purpose of forming both a fulcrum for the lever, and a set-screw fasten-A ing the pipe E i'n position, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
